EASY & DELICIOUS SALISBURY STEAK

Take a walk down memory lane and have a very comforting 30 minute meal.  Maybe your mother made this on a weeknight.  Everything is so expensive now, including groceries.  Salisbury steak is made with ground beef and tastes as good as a meatloaf, but cooks much faster.
